Features to know about
Skip the Messy Bearing Repack: E-Z Lube Cap Makes Greasing Simple
Keeping wheel bearings in good shape doesn’t have to mean tearing everything apart. This Dexter hub has an E-Z Lube-compatible grease cap that lets you add grease right through the zerk fitting on your spindle. Just pull the rubber plug, connect your grease gun, and fill it up—no disassembly, no greasy cleanup. The fresh grease flows to both the inner and outer bearings, helping them stay smooth and protected from corrosion.
All the Pieces You Need for a Direct Swap: Complete Hub Assembly
Everything’s here so you can install it right away—inner bearing (L68149) and race (L68111), outer bearing (L44649) and race (L44610), grease seal (58846), grease cap, wheel bolts, and 1/2" lug nuts. It’s a ready-to-go setup for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube axles with #84 spindles. Each hub is rated at 1,750 lbs and fits wheels from 13" to 15" with a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern.
Built Strong for Everyday Towing: Sturdy Iron Construction
This hub is made from solid iron so it can handle steady use without flexing or cracking. It’s sized to fit tight and run true, keeping your wheels balanced and your bearings seated correctly mile after mile. The precise machining makes installation smooth and helps prevent wobble or uneven wear.
Know Your Fit Before You Buy: Bearing Numbers Tell the Story
If you’re replacing an old or unknown hub, matching the bearing numbers is the sure way to confirm fitment. This hub uses inner bearing L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) and outer bearing L44649 (1.063" inner diameter). The included grease seal measures 1.719" inner diameter and 2.565" outer diameter—so if your spindle dimensions line up, this hub is the right match.

Determining Bolt Pattern
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Quality product. Would have been 5 stars but I did not receive the right end caps and poor packaging damaged my grease tubes that I ordered with it. Although, I will say etrailer has excellent customer service and I had new caps and grease in the mail in 3 days. Thank you for making it right!

Awesome stuff. Between etrailer & Dexter we found a perfect idler hub replacement to go from demountable rims to rims w/lug nuts.
All I need now are rims & tires.

ETrailer staff was able to find a hub to fit a very old spindle from a farm buggy we pull by tractor for kids to ride. They were able to match bearing sizes and sell odd size grease seal. Old tires, wheels and hubs were shot. A friend gave 4 jeep wheels to complete the job making a cool update.

No grease cap or zerk to replace the one that came off the old hub. No way to grease other than removing the cap everytime. Not ideal for a marine trailer application. Got to find a different cap now.

In building two tear drop trailers (see attached picture) and do to a miss measurement I ended up with two axles without hubs. (another story!) So I decided to order hub and start making a utility trailer. I enjoy etrailer's website. It is very helpful in selecting the right trailer parts. Delivery was good but the packaging was poor. The bearing, seal, lug nuts and cap are all in one bag taped to the heavy hub. One of the seal were bent but the rubber part looked OK, so I straighten it the best I could and install it anyway. I did not want to go through the hassle of returning it for a new one.

If you have a light boat trailer but want to get rid of the 12 inch wheels and upgrade to 13 or 14 you will need this larger hub in order to have the proper mounting surface for the wheels while keeping your 1 inch spindles. This kit has everything needed including larger lug nuts. This gives me piece of mind knowing my hubs, bearings, wheels, and tires are not straining to haul the load.

Purchase a pair of hubs and leaf springs plus assorted hardware for an old trailer restoration. The pricing was great and the quality and shipping were equally as good. The trailer is a 1999 Haulin which seen it's better days. Thanks to Etrailer, I was able to order everything I needed at one time.

I noticed both my hubs had cracks and someone before me did too, see photo w/ yellow mark at crack, I almost ordered just the bearing kit. The hubs arrived together and all the parts where heavily taped to hub securing them well so no damage occurred. Madison at eTrailer.com was a great help in finding the right parts I needed. Installation was easy as the races were already mounted in the hub. The price was affordable and when i mounted the hub/tire i almost thought i heard the boat trailer sigh with relief.

old originals on the 6000 lb axle under my late fathers homemade 4x8 trailer. The original hubs couldn't have modern wheels mounted to them so doing this allowed me to mount modern 225/15r75 tires and wheels as well as have a spare. Install was quick and easy, the fit of every part was perfect. Service from etrailer was excellent, couldn't have been better.

Items came quickly once in stock. I asked for them separately but would have lost the free shipping...good looking out! Went from old Christmas tree farm trailer to camp hauler. The updated hubs and rims were the last piece. Great customer service!

I bought this to build a spare tire mount on my dump trailer. I now have a spare hub if it is ever needed in an emergency. It works as it should and I hope to never need it for the intended purpose of an emergency hub.

I searched for what seemed like forever to find a fix for my mobile home trailer axles. I bought a homemade trailer and was needing new tires, they were and odd size 14.5... and I needed new bearings too. The axles were 5200 lb axles. The wheels had a very bad wobble and I felt like I was going to spend a lot money to make a temporary fix. There was so much conflicting information on these axles and compatibility of replacement parts. I bought these hubs and hoped for the best. They fit perfectly! I'm very pleased. I ordered them last night and they arrived this afternoon! Overnight shipping?! Also the costumer service was amazing!! I asked so many questions and felt like i was talking to a friend i've known my whole life.

Following a minor shipping hiccup, James at etrailer.com responded quickly and professionally to get my new hubs to me in a timely manner. Things may not always go as planned with shipments, but I know I can count on the crew at etrailer to make it right.
Thanks James and George!!

- How to Determine Replacement 5 on 5-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern Hubs 2004 Yacht Club PLC TrailerThe elements that would need to match up are the inner and outer bearing reference number, the capacity and the bolt pattern. The 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern idler hubs we offer use a L68149 inner and L44649 outer bearing. Your existing bearings should have the bearing reference numbers stamped on the bearing cages. If not, measure the surfaces on the spindle where the inner and outer bearings ride. The spindle at the inner should be about 1.378 inches in diameter and 1.063 at the outer....

- How to Identify Replacement Hub Based on Bearing Part Numbers and Spindle DimensionsThe easiest way to identify a suitable hub is to pull the inner and outer bearings to obtain their part numbers. The linked image shows you the typical appearance of bearing and seal numbers. If you can find those numbers on your bearings this makes it easier to check availability of a replacement. I linked our main page for hubs, including both idler hubs and hub/drums for applications with brakes. Once you know your bearing numbers you can simply click on those numbers on the hub page...

The #84 spindle and Dexter idler hub you asked about with a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern absolutely work together. The hub uses the same bearings and grease seal that fit the spindle, which is why they are compatible. The two part numbers are the following: - Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 5 on 5-1/2 # 84555UC1-EZ - #84 E-Z Lube Spindle w/ Brake Flange for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # TRU77FR As for the hubs, they are sold individually, so you will need...

What you can do though is use the Dexter 89" Axle # T3584F-EZ-8974, which is just this same axle by itself without any hubs, and add the Dexter Idler Hub Assembly # 84555UC1-EZ which features the needed 5 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and is compatible with the spindles on this axle.

Could you get by with a lower rated Timbren Axle Less like the part # ASR1THDS03 which is a 2,200 lb axle and has 3,500 lb spindles so the hub you mentioned # 84555UC1-EZ would fit.

That buggy looks like it would be a lot of fun to ride in! I'm so glad that we had some hubs that would work on the spindle, sometimes old spindles are too short and the hubs wont fit right, but these were a perfect fit. Thanks for sharing all the pictures, David. I loved looking at them all.
